Perhaps it is time to take a closer look at Hericium (Lion’s Mane), also known as Lion’s Mane.

Hericium is among the most complex vital mushrooms used in both traditional and modern phytotherapy. It is valued primarily for its effects on the digestive tract, nervous system and immunity.

Active substances in Hericium

Hericium contains:

• water-soluble polysaccharides, which participate in immune regulation and exhibit anti-tumour potential

• phytosterols – erinacines (e.g., erinacin H), intensively studied for their ability to stimulate nerve growth factor (NGF)

• erinacines J and K, which exhibit antibiotic activity

• ergosterols, minerals and vitamins

How does Hericium work?

1) Digestive tract

Hericium protects and regenerates the mucous membranes of the stomach and intestines.
It helps with:

• gastritis

• gastric and duodenal ulcers

• heartburn

• nausea

At the same time, it supports overall high-quality and balanced digestion.

2) Nervous system

One of the most significant effects of Hericium is the support of nervous tissue.
It positively influences:

• memory disorders

• dementia

• Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease

• multiple sclerosis

• neuropathies and neurasthenia

3) Immunity and oncological prevention

Like other medicinal mushrooms, Hericium acts immunoregulatory and anti-tumour, especially in the area of:

• the upper and middle parts of the digestive tract

• the liver
